Developing a Deeper Appreciation for Food

Posted

Food! Let’s say that again, FOOD! What came into your mind? Well, we’re pretty sure it’s that specific dish you’ve been craving for maybe since this morning, yesterday, or maybe even just now as you heard the word, food. Food has a huge power over ourselves as a person. Food is not only a source of nutrition, food has shaped the world in so many ways.

Careers were even built around food and some people even live with the pursuit of finding the best dish around. Food for you may not be that huge of a role, but it is still undeniably very important to you. In fact, food plays a huge factor aside from sustaining our physical aspect. Food even affects us socially.

Going out with friends? Most likely there’s food involved. Sometimes, we tend to forget that there are two portions of food in general. The first one is that food is nutritious and it should be eaten to boost our overall physical condition and appearance. The second one is taste. The appeal to the senses.
Most people tend to look at the latter rather than looking at food as a whole. Food shouldn’t just be about taste, food should also be about nutrition! We all know that eating healthy food is the backbone of success. But then again, why doesn’t it cross our mind when we are hungry? Well, hunger is a direct physical feeling which we notice almost instantly.

It’s easier to notice hunger than notice the fact that we aren’t in physical shape anymore. Hunger can easily be quenched but to improve our body’s physical state? Well, that takes a whole lot of discipline. In fact, we it actually takes more than a year to reprogram your body into a very positive physical state.

Cleansing your body of the toxins we intake from unhealthy food might be a bit bizarre at first since you aren’t used to eating food for the function rather than the taste. Later on you’ll realize that it may be hard, but it’s definitely possible. Our pallet is something we can actually train. In fact, we can condition our pallet into preferring healthier foods rather than foods that don’t really do us any good.

How do we do this? By discipline! Every habit comes from repetition and it is repetition you have to focus on. Consistency may not sound like such a fun word, but consistency is one of the only words that actually get things done. After all, who said eating healthy food isn’t yummy?
